I have everything (except the color coat) I would need to paint my wheels with PPG Deltron, as I did a bunch of the blue stuff on my truck already.

I was planning to get the wheels powdercoated, but a few people on the pricing thread said they -prefer- paint, and I'm not sure why that is, so....

You certainly get a wider selection of colors in paint, and a properly prep'd surface with DP90LF is a darn tough coating, but powdercoating seems make for wheels, which see rocks thrown around and generally live in an "exposed" area.

The question, then (cost aside): Paint or powdercoat?
